Comment 3 for bug 1974063

I concur with Anthony Chubb's comments, which were indeed the original impetus that motivated me to begin tinkering with the indicator width in the first.place. I forgot to mention this in the wake of the more catastrophic problems that occurred when I tried to change the width. But had these symptoms not existed, I never would have bothered messing with the width. My ideal state would be to see the "Mem: 6.2 GB" text that I used to see, and not flickering.

As to my Question 2 above, I did discover that this setting was maintained in dconf under the key of /de/mh21/indicator-multiload/, as indicated in my link above. Navigating there, I was able to change the width back to 40 and reinstall the indicator without breaking the system.

However, I only see the graphical display, which is better than nothing, but not ideal, and it does flicker.
